Doing the rounds in Barcelona is the remarkable resurgence of Marcus Rashford, whose loan move from Manchester United has transformed his season under Hansi Flick.

Flick also addressed concerns around injuries in the squad, defending Barcelona’s medical team and insisting they possess strong experience despite recent setbacks.
